Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach

See if TIM Champions from another region can present this portion. The ‘multidisciplinary approach’ works better if a First Responder presents the information, especially if the presenters represent multiple disciplines.
CDOT HQ can help recruit TIM Champion presenters. Please contact Patrick Chavez for more information.
